[quote=Anonymous]Let’s share stories so we can learn lessons and be better parents to our own kids. I myself had a tortured adolescence and would love to prevent the same thing from happening to my own kids, to the extent I can. What led to drugs, immoral behavior, and promiscuity for me? - depression around 14-15 years of age probably associated with hormonal changes - poor relationship with parents from 7-8th grade. My parents just genuinely didn’t like me and I picked up on it. My mother started working a lot near this age and was more absent. - older siblings who got me to experiment with and exposed me to drugs, though i perpetuated this behavior on my own for years afterwards - lack of any real “passions” in terms of sports, extracurricular stuff, etc. - sensitivity to some “mean girl/mean boy” events that were directed at me in 9th grade [/quote]
